I always listen with ear buds but if anyone asks what I'm listening to I just say J-pop since its easier than explaining my infatuation with Japanese Idol girl groups. If they want to know more, after a half hour rant about Idols, they never bring it up again.

I don't hide it, some of my family members know what I am into and they personally don't mind it, other than that I prefer not to share my music with anyone because I feel that if they judge it I would literally lose it to my anger issue.

At my old job I used to play my Asian KungFu Generation Pandora station at max volume on my phone while we were cleaning up. I am pretty sure I even got a few people to convert and start listening to it regularly.

I always tell people i listen to j-pop, honestly i really dont listen to anything else. English doesnt resonate with me at all, which is wierd cuz its my native language. I never even enjoyed music till i started listening to macross 7 music, i totally fell in love with j-pop and its held me together in my darkest times of my life. As for the haters, they are the strange ones for not noticing how glorious j-pop is. The whole world should be listening to it.

Whenever i listen to japanese music, I get asked the same thing all the time: 'Why are you listening to this crap?' Therefore, i try not to listen to loud where there are people like them around. If it's with complete strangers, then i have no problem.

When ever I am questioned as to why I am listen to my J Music, I try to be polite about it. Even if the other party is being an a** about it. I just say, 'This is what I like.' 'I find it better than a lot of other musics.'
However, sometimes I really want to tell the other party off and say stuff like 'Do I ever rip on what you listen to?' or 'You listen to s*** like BOTDF, you wouldn't know good music if it beat you over the head with a guitar!'
But, I have not done that yet. Lets hope i never do.
